"This type of vehicle was used by the Post Office Engineering Department between 1947 and 1958. This particular vehicle, U47822, was first registered in April 1947 and was used as an engineering manager's van. The Morris Z 5 cwt light van was the commercial version of the series E Morris already in production. At the time of writing nothing is known of this vehicle's use by the Post Office. It has since been owned by Mr A Chapman, Mr T M Moore, Mr J S Budgen, Mr C D Spurr and was acquired by Mr J Muller in March 1985, and sold to a Mr A Bowker in August 1985. British Telecom repurchased it in October 1985."
